Sabian’s collaboration with world-renowned Styx drummer Todd Sucherman continues to make waves. Following the massive success of his HH Sessions Ride, Todd and Sabian have teamed up once again to introduce two all-new crash cymbal lines: the HHX Redlight Crashes and the AA Spotlight Crashes. Both collections showcase Todd’s signature attention to tone and feel, backed by Sabian’s unmatched craftsmanship.

HHX Redlight Crashes

Tailored for the Studio

Designed to bridge the gap between Sabian’s Artisan and AAX series, the HHX Redlight Crashes are made for players who demand precision and warmth in the studio. These cymbals deliver dark, smoky tones balanced with a clear, shimmering top end that fits perfectly in modern mixes. Their buttery feel and wide dynamic range make them ideal for recording situations where musicality and nuance matter most.

Available in 18", 19", 20", and 22" sizes, each Redlight Crash blends seamlessly with the others, allowing drummers to pair them for a cohesive, musical spread. The sound is refined yet expressive—exactly what you’d expect from Todd Sucherman’s input.

AA Spotlight Crashes

Optimized for Live Performance

For drummers who live on stage, the AA Spotlight Crashes bring power, clarity, and responsiveness to any performance. With their large raw bell, brilliant finish, and modern hammering, these cymbals cut through the mix while maintaining a smooth, musical tone.

As Todd describes them, they deliver “cutting power but with a buttery touch and musical tone.” That balance makes the AA Spotlight series a perfect fit for energetic live performances, allowing players to project confidently without sacrificing finesse. Like the Redlight Crashes, they are offered in 18", 19", 20", and 22" sizes—each designed to complement the others beautifully when played together.

The Sound of Experience

Todd Sucherman has long been regarded as one of the most influential and respected drummers in the world. His HH Sessions Ride remains one of Sabian’s most popular artist collaborations, and these new crash lines carry that same level of detail, balance, and personality. Whether recording or performing live, Todd’s influence continues to shape how modern drummers approach their craft.
